Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced the introduction of its second generation of advanced fixed wireless communications products.

The QCT-6200 takes advantage of Qualcomm's advanced CDMA digital technology, delivering crystal-clear call clarity, proven reliability and enhanced privacy. Manufactured by Qualcomm, the new QCT-6200 CDMA digital terminal will become available in the second quarter of 1997.

The attractively styled QCT-6200 weighs 2.5 pounds (1.1 kilos) and has been designed for reliable operations in a broad range of environmental conditions. The rugged QCT-6200 can also deliver temporary communications during emergencies or special events requiring temporary additional service. An optional battery back-up will keep connected telephones operating in the event of a power failure.

The CDMA wireless QCT-6200 offers two built-in RJ-11 jacks for connection to phones, answering machines, modems, and faxes, with the ability to support up to five ringer equivalent numbers. Qualcomm's entire line of fixed wireless CDMA digital phones support wireless access to voice and data services with superior voice quality and can be equipped with a serial port for direct connection to computers, digital fax machines and packet data network services. The QCT-6200 supports both 13kbps and 8 kbps vocoders to deliver exceptionally clear wireless communications. The QCT-6200 supports custom calling features such as caller ID, call forwarding, call waiting, 3-way calling and automatic call-back.
